New icons in Sitecore 6.2

Just a quick post about the new Icons in Sitecore 6.2.

The new icons is actually just an update of the old ones to have a more Windows 7/Vista look (see small sample below).



They can be found in the Website\sitecore\shell\Themes\Standard folder as zip files together with the old icons. The icon folders have the same names as the old ones just with "V2" appended.

But when you want to use the new icons for example for a template they are not visible in the icon selector. You will still see the old ones!

To use the new ones instead of the old, rename the zip archives of the old icon zip folders to something else and then unzip the "V2" zip archives, delete the V2 from the folder name and re-zip the folder.

Now you should see the new icons
